FINAL CHAPTER. 



MY first duty in this chapter must be to point out to the reader 

 the lessons I have learnt while writing this book. 



Sir Oliver Lodge, in his work,'" The War and After/' 

 writes as follows : " .... the Nation must raise the 

 standard of the greatest Revelation in human history. While 

 as to the Christian Churches they must admit their essential 

 unity, they must try to regard their differences as they would 

 be regarded from a higher standpoint ; religious denominations 

 must cease from squabbling, on pain of losing their hold on the 

 Community. The cry of the religious teacher, in essence, if 

 not in words, must be * Back to Christ.' " 



This is right enough so far as it goes. But it does not go 

 far enough. " Back to Christ " yes, by all means, but do

 man's existence, but it has made plain to my mind's eye the 

 Personification of the Creator in the Infinity of Ether, the 

 Existence of the Creator, and the Infinite and Eternal Unity 

 of the Creator and the created. Pause, think and consider the 

 magnitude of this Trinity of Creation. If Christ was present 

 in your midst to-day, I feel sure he would tell you some such 

 words as these : I came amongst you, I lived amongst you, I 

 died upon the cross for you that I might bring you back, when 

 you were going astray, to the God who made you. I leave you 

 for a little while, but in yet a little while (and two thousand 

 years is but a very, very little while on the clock of Evolution 

 or in the minutes of eternity) I will send the Paraclete who shall
